@rateye777 Is it possible to download retropie 4.6 anywhere? For either Raspberry 3 or 4.

I tested the same controller setup with a pi3A so I have confirmed that the controllers are working properly. It seems to be an issue with the pi0w as both I have on hand had the same problem. I will rethink my genesis focused build to leverage the 8bitdo mod30s on a pi3A instead.

The question is - do I leverage a Genesis cartridge as the case or some sweet colorful nes carts I just picked up. I would need a label for the genesis cart. Let me know if anyone knows of a place to get a custom genesis cart label (preferably that fits on an EA sized game).

We don't support 3rd party images. Ask the image author(s) for support, or install the image from retropie.org.uk/download.

@Clyde Thank you that is good to know.

I have moved my question about the 2nd controller to a new thread so as not to contaminate and confuse there. thank you all.

@zemaduvant said in 8BITDO SN30 PRO PPSSPP:

So i figured out the solution.

That's more like a workaround, since lr-ppsspp doesn't use the same input configuration as the standalone ppsspp.

What you could try is get the latest gamecontrollerdb.txt and copy it to /opt/retropie/emulators/ppsspp/assets/, then see if your controller behaves better.

Since the destination folder is not writeable by the pi user, copy the file to the roms folder first, then run, from the command line:

sudo cp $HOME/RetroPie/roms/gamecontrollerdb.txt /opt/retropie/emulators/ppsspp/assets/

@rotopropjet

Thank you so much for sharing this solution! This was an easy fix and works for me too.

@brandflake11 nice- thanks for that last piece of info.

Just wanted to say Thanks for this question and answer. I had been struggling to get my 8bitdo Ultimate Wireless controller working in the games also and it turned out to be the same issue.
Adding /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/8BitDo_Ultimate_wireless_Controller.cfg from https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig/blob/master/udev/8BitDo_SN30_Pro%2B_BT_B.cfg worked.

As a total RetroPie/EmulationStation/RetroArch newbie, how is anyone supposed to know that they needed to manually add these controller configs? Is it supposed to be an automated system that's just not working correctly because I never saw any documentation anywhere that pointed users to the libretro GitHub.

@mitu I did remove all connected / paired devices several times. I did also reset ES_input file. Nothing worked. Always when I try to pair it, it gives me error message, that device is already registered. The same with udev.

Please post some details about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@revolutionflat said in 8bitdo SF30/SN30 Pro controller bluetooth pairing trouble after updating RetroPi on Pi4:

This isn't so much of a please help post, but a "There's a problem, here's how I fixed got around it" post.

I purchased 2x bluetooth SF30 Pro controllers and the new RetroFlag NES case for the Pi 4. When the controllers arrived, I spent hours trying to get them to pair but one outright refused to connect after pairing, and the other wouldn't pair in a mode that allowed all the buttons to be used (triggers didn't work).

After 3 re-imaging and installations, I realized THEY WORK ON THE 4.6 IMAGE just fine, connects immediately and behaves as you'd dream. If you update, that's when the problems occur. I was able to install extra themes/emulator packages/retroflag scripts without disturbing the connections. Hope this helps people going through this!

Edit: On the clean 4.6 image, I had the controllers in [Start+B] mode, I'd recommend re-flashing the firmware if you've been troubleshooting.

Received my SF30 Pro for my RetroPie 4.7.1 and have been having bluetooth connectivity issues. Did what RevolutionFlat did by reverting back to flashing my SD card with ver 4.6 and SF30 Pro finally connected... HALLELUJAH!!! Thanks for the version revert advice!!!

Please add some info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

If the 2nd controller is identical to the first, then you don't need to configure it again - the same configuration will work for the 2nd controller. Did you try plugging in just the 2nd controller to see if it works ?
